Default Newbie Here. Few Q's Too

Hey guys,

As you noticed I am new to this forum and thought I would break-in my welcome with some questions.

Well first I have a Completely stock White 1993 Mustang GT Convertible with black leather interior. Simple enough right? Oh yea 5spd. Just bought it at the end of last year.

I have one bugging question.

Does anybody have any problems with mustangs sagging? Since I just bought it I got it also with its scars. It looks like the mustang took a dip in a ditch or high curb. Looks to be professionally repaired but the problem is that the front left corner sits a whole 1" lower than the front right.

I think what happened is when they repaired the damaged section that only one strut/shock was replace leaving the sagging one to be the original OEM.

Could this be my case? Or am I over looking something. I don't think the frame is bent because from what I have seen there is nothing. But I haven't raised the car yet to inspect every nook and cranny.

On a flat surface you might take a few measurements on each side to see how they match to determine if the frame is sitting lower or you just have a bumper/cover sitting lower.

first make sure ur tire pressures are even. then make sure all your a-arms, mounts, and all that look straight. although rare, it could just be a bad shock on one side. i would replace the shocks since they arent too expensive and will give you better handling. if it is still uneven, then check your springs.
